00:00I
00:27can explain.
00:28You don't have to explain anything to him.
00:30You should shut your mouth.
00:31What, are you going to make me?
00:32No.
00:33Ian will.
00:34I can't imagine he's going to be too happy when he finds out what's been going on.
00:38David.
00:39Do you know what?
00:40I actually feel bad for him.
00:41Getting engaged to the same woman who betrayed him 30 years ago.
00:45He don't look too clever now, does he?
00:47No, David, wait.
00:48No, stop it.
00:49No.
00:50I've got to talk to Dad.
00:51Ian, you're walking him up.
00:52No, he won't leave it.
00:53I'll talk to him.
00:54David, what are you doing?
00:55You are so predictable.
00:56Don't do this.
00:57Do what?
00:58I just want a quick laugh, a wet little whistle before I head off.
01:00Just hear me out, please.
01:01Do you know, I must be losing my touch.
01:02Because I sat by all that flamboyant about you and him wanting to be together and making
01:09it work.
01:10I actually started to think it was true.
01:11It is.
01:12You're having an affair.
01:13Another affair.
01:14Right under his nose.
01:15Once I've filled him in with what's been going on, I don't think he's going to be too keen
01:22on walking down that aisle.
01:23Why are you doing this to me?
01:24You don't care about him.
01:25No, not much.
01:26But I don't like him lording over me, simply.
01:27I don't like the way he is.
01:28Like he's the big man and I'm nothing.
01:29Someone has to wipe that big, fat, smug smile off his face.
01:30Unfortunately, that person is me.
01:31No, please, don't.
01:32I will lose everything.
01:33My family, my security.
01:34Just give me ten.
01:35I did not.
01:36We can talk.
01:37We'll go somewhere.
01:38I'll take the truth.
01:39I'll tell you everything.
01:40Please.
01:41No.
01:42No.
01:43No.
01:44No.
01:45No.
01:46No.
01:47No.
01:48No.
01:49No.
01:50No.
01:51No.
01:52No.
01:53No.
01:54No.
01:55Please.
02:03You alright?
02:04Yeah.
02:05Yeah?
02:06Yeah, yeah.
02:07Of course, it's a lucky punch.
02:09And unacceptable.
02:11Totally unacceptable.
02:13Look, don't worry about it.
02:14No, it's what he's like.
02:15He always has been.
02:16My so-called half-brother.
02:17I mean, he shows me no respect.
02:19None.
02:20Let me get you a glass of Prosecco.
02:21I'll make up for it, yeah?
02:22All right.
02:24Uh, David's come to do the book's tax stuffer.
02:27He's a bit of an expert.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Tax avoidance.
02:30My speciality.
02:31Um, yeah, it's a bit of a private matter.
02:34Could you do that another time?
02:36We haven't finished testing out the recording stuff yet.
02:38Um, tomorrow maybe?
02:39I'd really appreciate it.
02:42You'll have to give me a minute.
02:43I've got to log the recordings and pack up my stuff.
02:45Well, can't you come back later?
02:47Please?
02:48Fine.
02:49Come on then, Fred.
02:51Thanks.
02:53Don't touch anything.
02:54Yes.
02:55It's very delicate.
02:56All right.
02:57Thanks.
03:05Well, come on, out with it.
03:07I ain't got all night.
03:12Lots of good stuff.
03:14Here, George, have you, uh, seen Cinder?
03:16Uh, no, sorry.
03:18Uh, I think she went outside.
03:19Oh, right, thanks.
03:22Look, that, um, could have worked.
03:26Cindy, you're cheating on him.
03:28Again.
03:30If you care so little, why get engaged?
03:33Because I want it to work.
03:35I don't want this bloke on the side.
03:37I want a proper life.
03:39Well, you ain't got off to a very good start, have you?
03:41Cheating on your husband to be with your ex-husband's son.
03:44Don't you think that's messed up?
03:46Oh, and you're not much better.
03:49Sleeping with your half-brother's wife?
03:52Look...
03:53You made me fall in love with you.
03:55You use me and you cast me aside.
03:58That's not how I remember it.
04:00Anyway, this ain't about me, it's about you.
04:03Oh, so you can do what you want, huh?
04:07Leave a string of broken hearts,
04:10me, Carol, Sam, on and on,
04:12and I've got to be a nun.
04:14What have you got that's real?
04:15What have you got that's lasted?
04:17The kids. Bianca.
04:19Oh, yeah, and where is she now?
04:21You going to stick around for her
04:22or are you going to dump her like you did Joe?
04:24Oh, I don't want to talk about Joe, please, please.
04:26No, no, of course you don't.
04:28Walked out on him, walked out on me,
04:30walked out on Carol.
04:31How many other people's lives have you ruined, David?
04:33Well, at least I try.
04:35You?
04:37Good-looking bloke strolls by, gives you the eye,
04:39straight on your back.
04:40Ding, ding, jump on board.
04:42Oh, so if a bloke falls around,
04:45he's a stud, people look up to him.
04:47If a woman does it, she's a slapper.
04:49Well, it's who you are, Cindy.
04:51You're cheap.
04:53You always were and you always will be.
04:55Cindy always comes first.
04:58Never a husband, never children,
05:01just you.
05:04You slope off, witness protection,
05:07you get married on the sly,
05:09while two of your children died
05:11and you didn't even care.
05:15Hey.
05:20It's about this woman I've been seeing.
05:22Maxine?
05:23No, someone else.
05:25Someone new.
05:27OK.
05:29Look, things have moved pretty fast.
05:31I just want you to hear it from me first.
05:34Junior.
05:36You've never been afraid of telling me exactly what you think,
05:38so just tell me now.
05:42You said those things and it just touched a nerve
05:45and I lost it. I'm sorry.
05:48No, it was me. I was out of order, what I said.
05:53It's just...
05:55I don't know.
05:57Seeing you like that...
06:00it upset me.
06:02It ain't exactly healthy behaviour, is it?
06:05Yeah, but...
06:07it's what we both had in common, wasn't it?
06:11Making bad choices.
06:15That's why I said yes to Ian.
06:17I made a good choice.
06:19I want to turn my life around.
06:25And Junior?
06:27I mean, if it's all working out so well,
06:29why go with him?
06:31As much as Ian means to me,
06:34there are areas in my life where he just doesn't do it for me.
06:41A bit on the side.
06:44I need it.
06:46I'm not like Ian.
06:48I need passion in my life.
06:50I need that.
06:52I just need something else.
06:58Do you love him, Junior?
07:00Oh, God, no. It's just sex.
07:03And that's enough? That's all you want?
07:06No, of course not, but...
07:08Well, then what do you want?
07:11You're stupid.
07:13No, tell me. Go on.
07:15God, if you can't tell me, who can you tell?
07:21Love.
07:24Real, deep, romantic love.
07:32Well, you ain't got it with Junior.
07:35No.
07:37It doesn't even come close.
07:40Ian?
07:42You don't have the answer to that.
07:46What about me?
07:50Did you have it with me?
07:53So you like this woman?
07:56Yeah.
07:58I really like her, and I swear, I swear to God,
08:00I didn't think I would. I thought things would be simple.
08:03But first, it just happened.
08:05And now...
08:09I can't stop.
08:11I really care about her. This is serious.
08:15Well, don't she feel the same way?
08:17Yeah, yeah, I think she does.
08:22But there's, um...
08:24There's other people involved, other people in her life.
08:27I just want you to understand.
08:30Why?
08:32Why do you care what I think?
08:35What is this?
08:37Do you remember how I told you I needed you?
08:42You said you felt the same.
08:47No.
08:48I mean, it was a bank, I won it at first, maybe, really.
08:52But after a while, there was...
08:55There was something there.
08:57Something real.
08:59Or was that just me?
09:02To be honest with you, David, I don't like thinking about it.
09:05Why not?
09:07Because it was painful for me.
09:10I had feelings for you.
09:13I was head over heels for you.
09:15I told you.
09:17You told me that you loved me.
09:21Did you mean it?
09:23Oh, what does it matter?
09:25It was 30 years ago.
09:27We were different people then, we're totally different people.
09:30It matters.
09:32It matters to me.
09:36Then why weren't you there for me?
09:38You told me you were going to be there, and you weren't.
09:42I know, I know, I know, I know, but that doesn't mean...
09:45That doesn't mean it wasn't real, that doesn't mean I didn't have feelings.
09:49When I saw you, when I turned round and saw you for the first time,
09:54it all came flooding back.
09:57You and me.
10:00Together.
10:02I remember what that felt like.
10:04What you felt like.
10:07And I wanted it.
10:10I wanted it again.
10:13But then you seem so settled with Ian and you're getting engaged.
10:19So I thought, well, that door's closed.
10:23But now this.
10:25This situation.
10:30I can't tell you I don't have feelings for you, Simba,
10:33but I don't look back and wonder what would have happened if I had come with you.
10:39Whether either of us would be in the situation we are now,
10:42you in this mess and...
10:45..me on my own.
10:49But I couldn't.
10:51I couldn't do it.
10:53I did what I always do, I ran away.
10:56I ran away.
10:59So you think if you hadn't gone, if...
11:03..things were different, that...
11:06..me and you could have been together, we could have been the ones getting married,
11:09we could have had kids?
11:11I don't...
11:13I don't know, Cindy, maybe.
11:16Maybe...
11:18Maybe we could have been happy.
11:22Maybe we still could.
11:27So you want to be with her, this woman?
11:31Is that what you want?
11:33Yeah. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I do.
11:38It's real, Dad.
11:40I'd never suggest...
11:43..you did something that hurt someone.
11:45Never. I hate that.
11:51But if you love her, you want to be with her,
11:54she wants to be with you...
11:58..if it feels right.
12:00You used to stand in the way of that.
12:08How many times in life do you get a second chance, eh?
12:10See? How many?
12:12You and Ian, you're going for it again.
12:14Why not? You and me.
12:16You don't even know me. We've spoken in years.
12:19Tell me you don't feel anything.
12:21Tell me you don't feel anything.
12:23Look at me and tell me you don't feel a little bit of what you used to.
12:26And you're going to be there for me, are you? Hmm?
12:28That's it. I say yes, and we're together now.
12:31Maybe I just want another shot.
12:34Well, maybe it's just too late.
12:38Maybe we had never worked out.
12:40Maybe we're just too messed up.
12:42Yeah, then, sure.
12:44Can't deny that.
12:47But we're older now, aren't we?
12:49We know what life's like.
12:52How lonely it can get.
12:54We work through stuff.
12:56We can't go back, David.
12:58You can't pick up the thread and start again.
13:01That moment's gone.
13:03I wish we could. I really do.
13:07I wish...
13:09..I could have seen you walking down that platform holding Lucy's hand
13:13and we could have all been together.
13:15I wish you could have held me in your arms,
13:18told me you'd love me and you'd never let me go.
13:20But you didn't.
13:22The years have gone, David. It's too late.
13:25And now we're here together, touching distance, but...
13:29..it's just too late.
13:31It's not. It is.
13:33I cannot fill that gap in your life, David.
13:37It's just not going to work.
13:40Here.
13:41Maybe someone else has already filled it.
13:43Maybe you're just not as honest as you seem.
13:46Who is she, huh?
13:48It doesn't matter. It's not what you think.
13:50Do you know what, David? Me and you could never have worked out.
13:53And do you know why? Because you are a liar.
13:56You prefer it that way, don't you? You never get close to anyone.
13:59Just happier on your own, keeping everyone at arm's distance.
14:02Lying through your teeth.
14:04And you're not.
14:05You're not lying.
14:07To Ian. Junior.
14:11You're lying to yourself, Cindy.
14:14You've still got feelings for me.
14:16You just don't want to take the risk.
14:18No, it's not true.
14:20I can see it in your eyes.
14:22You're wrong.
14:27I'm in love with someone else, David.
14:30Do what?
14:33I'm still in love with George.
14:40No sign?
14:41No, I just vanished into thin air.
14:44What about David?
14:45Gone, I think.
14:48You know, maybe you should put it all to bed now.
14:54What?
14:55Well, what happened with David and Cindy?
15:00Yes, I know, I know, I've hated her for years, in and all, but...
15:05Seeing him back here, it was all such a long time ago, Ian.
15:09You know, dragging it all up again.
15:12We need to show her that you've moved on.
15:14Jo, I can't believe I'm hearing this.
15:16I mean, are you serious?
15:18Forgive him, David Wicks, after all he's done to me.
15:21Hang on, she did it too, and you've forgiven her?
15:25And David, he's your half-brother.
15:27Don't forget that.
15:31We've got to stop living in the past.
15:33Let go and move on.
15:36When did you become so wise, Mother?
15:39I don't know, must be old age.
15:42Makes you see things like they really are.
15:47Maybe I'm not at that point yet.
15:49Well, try it. You might surprise yourself.
15:55Nothing's going to happen between me and George.
15:59We had a kiss a few months ago, but that's dead in the water.
16:05Does he know, Ian?
16:08Yeah.
16:10I told him I was drunk and it didn't mean anything.
16:14Truth is, it just made me realise that...
16:17how I really felt.
16:20That I do really love George.
16:24I told him how I felt.
16:26He turned me down.
16:29He rejected me, so I...
16:31settled for Ian.
16:34Took the easy path.
16:36That's the reason I slept with Junior.
16:38That's the reason this whole thing started.
16:43Do you know, sometimes when...
16:46I'm in bed with Junior, I...
16:48close my eyes and I think of George.
16:53This is... I mean, even by my standards, which are pretty low,
16:58this is messed up.
16:59I know.
17:01Do you think I'm proud?
17:03I don't like it. I can't...
17:05I can't help the way I feel.
17:08You don't think it's going to blow up in your face and destroy everything that you've got?
17:12Is that really what you want?
17:14No, that's not going to happen.
17:15No, you need to make a decision.
17:17You need to go back there now, and you need to tell Ian the truth.
17:22Or...
17:23dump Junior.
17:25Choose commitment.
17:26Choose stability.
17:27You're children, make a commitment.
17:29Oh, like you've made a commitment to Bianca?
17:31That is your choice, Cindy.
17:32It's my choice to make, not yours.
17:34Then make it.
17:36Otherwise I will make it for you.
17:38Why would you do that?
17:39Because I can't stand it.
17:41I cannot stomach any more of these lies.
17:45You do not get to tell me what to do, David.
17:47No.
17:49Well, maybe I have lived a lie my whole life.
17:52Maybe you're right.
17:53But not anymore.
17:55Ian may be a prat, Cindy,
17:56but he's a prat who's about to commit the rest of his life to a woman...
18:01who doesn't really care.
18:03And that's just...
18:04just...
18:05just...
18:07You're better than that, Cindy.
18:08No, what are you doing? Where are you going?
18:10David, no!
18:11You'll find me in the long run.
18:12Please, David.
18:13David, don't do this.
18:14You're just going to wreck my life just to prove a point and get revenge.
18:18It's not about revenge, Cindy.
18:20I'm doing you a favour. I'm setting you free.
18:22What, by telling Ian?
18:23Well, it's your choice to make.
18:24Tell Ian, dump lover boy,
18:26because I ain't sitting around and watching you live in this chaos.
18:28Don't even live it. What do you care?
18:30I care...
18:31about you.
18:32I didn't realise it until today.
18:35I still do.
18:36Just... just stop!
18:38Just stop!
18:39Let's just talk about this.
18:41Look at me.
18:42Just look at me.
18:44If you still love me,
18:46if you ever love me, don't do this.
18:48Please don't do this.
18:49Please.
18:59Where have we gone?
19:00Change of plan.
19:01Change of plan.
19:02I've got something I need to say to you.
19:04And I could not live with myself if I walked off and kept silent.
19:07What is the point?
19:08Ian, please.
19:09No, just stop.
19:10No, you listen to me for a change, OK?
19:11All this grief, right?
19:13You have a go at me, I have a go at you.
19:15Look, we need to put it behind us.
19:17What?
19:18No, seriously, I mean it.
19:20Like, you...
19:21you're my brother of sorts.
19:23And...
19:24I haven't got a lot of family left,
19:26and neither are you,
19:27so we need to make the most of...
19:29of what we've got, right?
19:31Might not be what we would choose.
19:33Might have been a few bumps along the way.
19:35Bumps?
19:37That is your fiancée you're talking about.
19:39Exactly.
19:41But that's all in the past, all right?
19:43This is the future.
19:44Me and Cindy, this is our future, all right?
19:46And I don't...
19:48I don't want any shadows hanging over me.
19:50Did you hear that?
19:52Sweet.
19:54That's why she loves me.
19:55Can put petty differences behind.
19:58So, um...
20:00how about it, eh?
20:01Let bygones be bygones?
20:05Oh, come on, David, don't leave me hanging.
20:09Bygones.
20:12Look, I don't think we're ever going to be best friends, but...
20:16it's a start, isn't it?
20:19Come on then, what were you going to say to me?
20:22Um...
20:25I just...
20:27want to wish you both the very best.
20:29I know it didn't work out before with you two, but...
20:32you've got another crack at it.
20:35And I hope it works.
20:36I really do.
20:38You love each other.
20:40And you're loyal.
20:41What could possibly go wrong?
20:43No, I really appreciate it.
20:44Look, let me get you a drink.
20:45No, no, no, no, no, sure.
20:47I think I've outstayed my welcome.
20:50You have yourselves a nice night.
20:53I'll see you next time.
21:02David.
21:05I just want to say thank you for not saying anything.
21:09You don't know how much that means to me.
21:11I think I do.
21:14Anyway, who am I to tell you how to live your life?
21:17None of my business, Cindy.
21:19We had something, me and you.
21:22But we blew it.
21:23It just feels so sad.
21:26Standing here.
21:28It doesn't feel like 30 years ago, it just...
21:31just feels like yesterday.
21:37And I mucked it up.
21:39I ran.
21:42Like I always do.
21:44You don't have to run anymore, David.
21:46Can't you see that?
21:48You've got people that love you.
21:51Bianca.
21:54Don't run away.
21:55Don't make the same mistakes again and again and again.
21:59Well, I could say the same to you.
22:01Come on, you've got another chance now.
22:03You've got your kids back.
22:06Don't muck it up, Cindy.
22:10I hope everything works out for you.
22:13I hope so.
22:14I hope everything works out for you.
22:18Come here.
22:22I did love you, you know?
22:25Me too.
22:27In my own way.
22:31Me too.
22:42Goodbye, David.
22:44Bye, Cindy.
22:56What happened?
22:57Not here.
22:58Ladies.
22:59In a minute.
23:02Oh, there you are!
23:03Here, Winston got us some shots.
23:06Oh, thanks.
23:08Did you say goodbye?
23:10Yeah, you didn't mind, did you?
23:12Of course I did.
23:13I trust you.
23:15It means a lot, Ian.
23:18Oh, blimey. Do you want one?
23:20Oh, yes, please.
23:22Just guys, the ladies.
23:23Okay.
23:26Here, here you go.
23:27Oh, thank you very much.
23:28Ready?
23:29Yeah.
23:38What?
23:40This has to stop.
23:41Yeah, of course it has.
23:42No, no, no, this.
23:44Us.
23:45It's over.
23:49Right, go and pack a bag.
23:51You're coming with me.
23:52What?
23:53I'm not leaving you down here to sort all this mess out on your own.
23:56I need to be with you.
23:57Make sure you get help.
23:59I need to be by your side, wherever it leads,
24:01no matter how bad, how painful.
24:03I thought you didn't care.
24:06Of course I care.
24:08You're my girl.
24:09You're my girl.
24:13I ran out on one kid when he was rock bottom.
24:16I ran out on your mum.
24:18And all the women in my life.
24:20Well, that stops now.
24:22So go on, go and get your bag.
24:24We're going to go up north.
24:26There's someone I need you to see up there.
24:28I can't.
24:32I can't run out on Sonia.
24:33I just can't abandon her.
24:35Bianca.
24:37I want to look after you.
24:38I need to take care.
24:41Stay here then.
24:42No, no, no.
24:43I can't do that.
24:45It's complicated.
24:46It's...
24:48Cindy.
24:49Ian.
24:51No, I can't come back.
24:52I'm sorry.
24:53It's all right.
24:54Look.
24:55You know, the fact that
24:57you haven't just run out and that
25:00you want to be here with me,
25:02it just...
25:03it means the world to me.
25:06Really?
25:08I'll just call you.
25:09I can call you.
25:10You can call me.
25:12And I can just come and visit.
25:13Just call me.
25:14I will.
25:20Go on, go on.
25:21You are going to miss your train.
25:22Yeah.
25:24And you'll go to the doctor's, yeah?
25:26Bianca, swear to me.
25:27I will.
25:28And I will call you after.
25:29I want to, yeah.
25:30Say hello to this...
25:32this woman,
25:33whoever she is.
25:35It's not like that.
25:37I hardly even know her.
25:39I've only met her once.
25:45I hope it works out for you.
25:47I really do.
25:51What's changed?
25:52I'm getting married.
25:53Well, that didn't seem right.
25:54No, no, no.
25:55No, no, no.
25:56No, no, no.
25:57No, no, no.
25:58No, no, no.
25:59It's because of my dad.
26:00That didn't seem to bother you earlier.
26:01Yes, well, it does now.
26:03Is it because of him?
26:05David, I mean, what did he say to you?
26:07Nothing.
26:08It's not him.
26:09I just can't do this anymore.
26:11I've got feelings for you.
26:13Like genuine feelings.
26:15I don't care.
26:16I just can't do this anymore.
26:18All this sneaking around, the lies,
26:20Ian and George all...
26:22Is it because of dad?
26:23I mean, it's definitely what this is about.
26:24No, it's not him.
26:26It's me.
26:27From now on, it's just me and Ian. That's it.
26:33Fine.
26:35Good luck with that.
26:37You say that feels in a week or so?
26:38Yeah. It'll feel just fine.
26:40Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
26:58Hiya. Hiya. You all right?
27:00Sorry I kept you falling.
27:02No, no, no. It's all right. It's fine.
27:05I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. I've just had my hands full.
27:08Everything all right up there?
27:09Yeah. Yeah, I just thought it'd be really nice to see you.
27:13Yeah, no, yeah.
27:15Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
27:18Seeing you graduate.
27:20That'd be a real thrill.
27:23Yeah, well, Dad says you can even stay here if you want.
27:26Did he?
27:27Yeah, he's here now. I can put him on.
27:29Dad?
27:35Hello, Joe.
27:37You all right, Dad?
27:38You look well.
27:41Thanks.
27:43Listen, this girl's really looking forward to seeing you in person.
27:47Me too.
27:48Both are.
27:50It'd be nice to spend some time together.
27:53After all these years.
27:55Tomorrow, then?
27:56Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
27:57I'm on my way.
27:59I'll see you tomorrow.
28:00Tomorrow?
28:01Bye, Dad.
28:03Bye.
28:04Bye.
